Below are some photos of the Community Art Mural from the event. We were painting Jane, a farmer from Kywanula village in Southwestern Uganda. She has been an active partner of Project FOCUS from the beginning.
Jane, as a leader in her community, was featured in the Portraits of Resilience art project in 2007. More recently, she participated in a permaculture workshop hosted by Project FOCUS and ICOD Action Network to learn sustainable farming techniques to improve her yields and the health of her crops.
Jane is also training to use the Internet and communication technologies at the Lyantonde Internet Center. The internet center allows rural villagers like Jane access to weather predictions and market information for their products.
Seeds!
If you took home seeds to plant, we would love to see how your Sugar Snap Peas are doing! Send a photo of your growing plant and any other information you would like to share to info@projectfocus.org. We will post the photos here on our blog and our facebook page to share with with Project FOCUS community in the U.S. and Uganda.
If you were not there but would still like to participate, let us know!
